Knitting has taken a backseat this weekend as the sun has appeared and I've embarked on a different type of project. Gardening. Or garden making is probably a more accurate description.
My flat doesn't have a proper garden but there's a sizable patio type thing in the corner of the driveway which is a bit scruffy and the view isn't great (even though I love my car I don't want to sit and stare at it!). But all this has changed! I've put up a bamboo screen so the cars and road are less noticeable and invested in patio furniture and some pot plants. It's great, what was a wasted nasty corner of a drivewsy is now a rather more appealing patio. Next weekend I'll do some planting in the boarders/random patches of nasty dry soil and stone.
But I digress, back to knitting. I've finished a cowl I've been working over the past few weeks, yes I know, another one. The pattern is Inspira Cowl by Graphica. I used Lion Brand Amazing wool which transitions through a range of colours as you knit. The result is very bright but I think it will be fun to wear in the winter when everything needs livening up.
Progress on the fair isle cardigan is slow. I prepared to make decent progress whilst watching the England game this week but the game was so disappointing I fell asleep. Not good. But it's still fun to knit. I think it will take me at least until Christmas...
